Abstract

A bioclean room is formed surrounded by a frame body with side portions of the frame opened and curtains to be selectively opened and shut to cover opened side portions of the frame body. An air flow passage is equipped with an air cleaning device to deliver the air in the frame body along a top plate to an air blow duct above the patient's head through which clean air is blown into the bioclean room. The frame body is equipped with an opening on the head side of the patient through which a medical console can be received inside the bioclean room when the frame body is brought into abutment against a wall.

Claims (16)

1. A bioclean room unit comprising a frame body having a top plate thereon and provided on a floor, with at least one of side portions of the frame body being opened, and a transparent resin curtain provided to be selectively opened and shut to cover the opened side portion of said frame body, wherein an inside space is defined by the frame body and the curtain to form a bioclean room, said bioclean room being equipped with an air blow duct so as to blow air into the room from above a patient's head, said frame body having an air flow passage which runs upward from the foot side of the patient so as to deliver the air in the frame body and along the top plate to the air blow duct, said air flow passage being equipped with an air cleaning device therein to clean up the air, and wherein the frame body is equipped with an opening on the head side of the patient so as to make a medical console on a wall of a sickroom positioned inside the bioclean room when a front surface of the frame body is brought into abutment against the wall.

2. A bioclean room unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the air blow duct is arranged on the top plate above the patient's head so as to allow the flow velocity of the air from the air blow outlets to lower before it reaches around the patient's head.

3. A bioclean room unit as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a fan of the air cleaning device is installed in the air flow passage at least on the foot side of the patient.

4. A bioclean room unit as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the air cleaning device is equipped with means for removing dust in the air passing through the air flow passage, means for removing stinking substances in the air, and means for sterilizing germs and bacteria captured together with particles.

5. A bioclean room unit as claimed in claim 4 , wherein opening the curtain causes a curtain switch to be switched on to increase the quantity and/or flow velocity of the air from the fan and wherein shutting the curtain causes the curtain switch to be switched off to decrease the quantity and/or flow velocity of the air from the fan at a predetermined time after the switch-off.

6. A bioclean room unit as claimed in claim 3 , wherein opening the curtain causes a curtain switch to be switched on to increase the quantity and/or flow velocity of the air from the fan and wherein shutting the curtain causes the curtain switch to be switched off to decrease the quantity and/or flow velocity of the air from the fan at a predetermined time after the switch-off.

7. A bioclean room unit as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the air cleaning device is equipped with means for removing dust in the air passing through the air flow passage, means for removing stinking substances in the air, and means for sterilizing germs and bacteria captured together with particles.

8. A bioclean room unit as claimed in claim 7 , wherein opening the curtain causes a curtain switch to be switched on to increase the quantity and/or flow velocity of the air from the fan and wherein shutting the curtain causes the curtain switch to be switched off to decrease the quantity and/or flow velocity of the air from the fan at a predetermined time after the switch-off.

9. A bioclean room unit as claimed in claim 2 , wherein opening the curtain causes a curtain switch to be switched on to increase the quantity and/or flow velocity of the air from the fan and wherein shutting the curtain causes the curtain switch to be switched off to decrease the quantity and/or flow velocity of the air from the fan at a predetermined time after the switch-off.

10. A bioclean room unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a fan of the air cleaning device is installed in the air flow passage at least on the foot side of the patient.

11. A bioclean room unit as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the air cleaning device is equipped with means for removing dust in the air passing through the air flow passage, means for removing stinking substances in the air, and means for sterilizing germs and bacteria captured together with particles.

12. A bioclean room unit as claimed in claim 11 , wherein opening the curtain causes a curtain switch to be switched on to increase the quantity and/or flow velocity of the air from the fan and wherein shutting the curtain causes the curtain switch to be switched off to decrease the quantity and/or flow velocity of the air from the fan at a predetermined time after the switch-off.

13. A bioclean room unit as claimed in claim 10 , wherein opening the curtain causes a curtain switch to be switched on to increase the quantity and/or flow velocity of the air from the fan and wherein shutting the curtain causes the curtain switch to be switched off to decrease the quantity and/or flow velocity of the air from the fan at a predetermined time after the switch-off.

14. A bioclean room unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the air cleaning device is equipped with means for removing dust in the air passing through the air flow passage, means for removing stinking substances in the air, and means for sterilizing germs and bacteria captured together with particles.

15. A bioclean room unit as claimed in claim 14 , wherein opening the curtain causes a curtain switch to be switched on to increase the quantity and/or flow velocity of the air from the fan and wherein shutting the curtain causes the curtain switch to be switched off to decrease the quantity and/or flow velocity of the air from the fan at a predetermined time after the switch-off.

16. A bioclean room unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein opening the curtain causes a curtain switch to be switched on to increase the quantity and/or flow velocity of the air from the fan and wherein shutting the curtain causes the curtain switch to be switched off to decrease the quantity and/or flow velocity of the air from the fan at a predetermined time after the switch-off.
